You will need a wrench that fits the filter housing. You don't have to buy the Hazet tool, there are others that fit. You should use a torque wrench for the housing and drain plug.

Get a good oil pan. Oil comes out fast, and there is a lot of it. I just did my first one, my pan barely kept up with the flow, and it splashed a bit. Cleanup is a small price to pay for the saving and satisfaction for doing it yourself, IMO.
